The Patriots Are Back, the Chargers Are Done, and More Week 4 Story Lines

KapadiaIn the second half, I'm like, I am seeing signs of progress here. You know, it's a 12 -10 game. It's tight and they have to put together two drives. They put together two long drives later in that game.

KapadiaKyler Murray kind of got hot late in that game, you know, with TJ Hawkinson, you mentioned. He was completing passes. He looked more comfortable. They're clearly adapting the offense to what he's comfortable with. They're playing out a shotgun a lot, but they didn't have Justin Jefferson. They lose two offensive linemen during the game.

KapadiaThey had 336 yards. You know, they could have had a touchdown if TJ Hawkinson didn't slide there at the two yard line. So I'm not telling anyone it's perfect, but if I look at from last week to this week, and given that it's only the second full game that Kyler Murray has played for Kevin O 'Connell, I was kind of like, all right, at least, you know, it could have gone the other way.

KapadiaIt didn't go the other way. He stayed healthy. We're now at least I'm in a mode of let's see a little bit more. The defense is going to carry the team. You don't have to be great, but I kind of see a little bit here. So yeah, I'm kind of like everybody's settled down.

KapadiaNow I was killing the Vikings offense last week. Now I'm like, you know what? It looked a little better this week.

GilI mean, they still scored one touchdown since week one. Week one, it was like, what is this offense, right? You probably thought like, okay, this seems to be really good. If they can put up 35 points, five touchdowns a week with the defense that they're going to have, like this is going to be a serious contender.

GilAnd then they've kind of just cooled.
